TransLink chaos: The 113 services that couldn't

IT WILL not be a happy Friday for commuters today with word that 113 trains have been cancelled across south-east Queensland today, as a train driver shortage continues to hobble the TransLink network.

Embattled Transport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe told Parliament that close to 10% of services would be dumped for the day, as Queensland Rail attempts to keep the cancelled services out of peak hour.

Mr Hinchliffe said the changes were to help usher in a new timetable that would be released today and come into use from Monday.
